This OECD Economic Outlook analyses the current economic situation and examines the economic policies required to foster a sustained recovery in member countries. The present issue covers the outlook to end 2017 for both OECD countries and selected non OECD economies. Together with a wide range of cross-country statistics, the Outlook provides a unique tool to keep abreast of world economic developments.

Growth is projected to recover gradually in 2016 and 2017 as non-oil investment picks up in response to higher exports and some new oil investment projects start up. Aggregate demand will also be sustained by accommodative macroeconomic policies. Unemployment will rise but remain low in the OECD context. Inflation has been temporarily boosted by currency depreciation but is otherwise contained by remaining cyclical slack. The extensive welfare state is cushioning the impact of the economic slowdown on well-being and protecting the vulnerable.
